OVERVIEW

What is AutoPIPE Vessel Ultimate? What is AutoPIPE Vessel Ultimate used for?

AutoPIPE Vessel Ultimate is a vessel analysis and design software that helps engineers and designers save time while increasing the quality of the design and analysis of pressure vessels, heat exchangers, tanks, and air coolers by having fully automated workflows, complete global codes, and applied loadings.

  • Maximize productivity  
    AutoPIPE Vessel Ultimate provides you accurate, cost-effective designs for the safe operation of vessels under various loading conditions such as wind, seismic, wave, motion, vortex shedding, and blast loading and can be used on brownfield or greenfield projects. By enabling the use of material standards and a wide range of design codes including those from many prior years, it improves flexibility for revamping any existing vessels. AutoPIPE Vessel Ultimate helps you to reduce design time, eliminate rework, and is easy to use so you can get started quickly. 
  • Optimize vessel design and manufacturing  
    With AutoPIPE Vessel Ultimate, you can evaluate alternatives and provide quality solutions for loading and manufacturing scenarios in minutes. It provides support for details and drawings as well as installation and operating conditions. Plus, with fatigue analysis, installation and support-in-place design and analysis, pressure testing, automatic drawing production, and cost estimation, you can ensure you are providing a complete design. 
  • Improve collaboration  
    Your project team members can collaborate efficiently, reduce the number of iterations and errors, and provide high-quality designs by taking advantage of a unified workflow from data handover to operations and maintenance. Import thermal design data from HTRI, Aspen, Prosim, and Honeywell software to automate heat exchanger model creation and share data with plant design applications such as AutoPLANT and PDS. You can even reference your piping model and import nozzle loads from AutoPIPE. Export directly to IFC and ISM file types.
